This invention relates to an improved Vdeur-scoop, und consists in combining e. In the accompanying drawings- Ciercnce being sitter and-scoop in one device.

Figure 1 is n vertieul section, at line x w, of Figure 2, which is a. top view of my improved scoop.

In the present instance, thescoop consists of the sides A A, stamped so us to form u shoulder, a a, shown in the dotted lines in iig. 2; but the two sides A A und lip I) might, it' preferred,l be constructed of one piece of metal, on which rests the freine of the sieve B. The rezir ends of the sides A lap over and u re secured to the wooden buck C. The lip D laps over und is soldered or riveted to the front ends of the sides A, und also laps over the front end of the sieve B, which is further protected shoulder formed in side pieces A.
